Training In The Use Of Interpretive Services For Patients With Limited English Proficiency, Kristina Wooten
Symposium of Student Scholars
In clinical settings, there is a disconnect between health care professionals (HCPs) and patients with limited English proficiency (LEP). HCPs rely on ad hoc interpreters to communicate with patients with LEP (e.g. nurses using untrained friends and family or nursing students to interpret care information). Refusing to use or misusing professional interpreters and other interpretive services may lead patients with LEP to avoid seeking necessary care, misunderstand their diagnoses and treatment regimens, and fail to return for follow-up care. This increases the already existing health care disparity between patients who speak English and patients with LEP. Studies show that if …

Hipaachecker: A Web Based Application On Hipaa Technical Safeguards Assessment Of Android Mhealth Applications, Bilash Saha
Symposium of Student Scholars
Protecting personal health records is becoming increasingly important as more people use Mobile Health applications (mHealth apps) to improve their health outcomes. These mHealth apps enable consumers to monitor their health-related problems, store, manage, and share health records, medical conditions, treatment, and medication. With the increase of mHealth apps accessibility and usability, it is crucial to create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information (PHI) on behalf of a covered entity or another business associate. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides guidelines to the app developers so that the apps must be compliant with required and addressable …

Interventions To Prevent Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries, Astrid Geronimo
Symposium of Student Scholars
Background: Hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are the most common preventable complication among critical care patients. This project is conducted to compare the effectiveness between the current implemented preventative measure versus the new measures that have data supporting their effectiveness. Brief Significance: Five articles were chosen that outlined the prevalence of hospital acquired pressure injuries in critical care patients and alternative interventions that have been effective in the prevention of HAPIs. These evidence-based interventions include: The application of multilayered foam dressing with hypo oxygenated fatty oils which would reduce sheer and provide support from the pressure of laying in the …

Voice Assistant For Improving Patient's Lives: The Implementation And Case Study, Anh Duong
Symposium of Student Scholars
Over the last few years, the adoption of voice assistants in IoT devices has experienced rapid growth as a result of advanced technology alongside the development of artificial intelligence. According to a survey conducted by Juniper Research, over 2.5 billion digital voice assistants were being used in devices around the world by the end of 2018. By 2023, the number is expected to triple to 8 billion. Voice assistants (VA) have integrated into and become a part of human’s modern life with the purpose of making things more accessible and easier to use, hence, improving the users’ living experience. VA …
Relation Between Emotions And Students’ Code Quality Using Iot, Lisero Mugula
Relation Between Emotions And Students’ Code Quality Using Iot, Lisero Mugula
Symposium of Student Scholars
Programming can be a mentally demanding exercise. The objective of this study is to explore the effects emotions have on a programmer’s quality of code. Programmers in the study are given a Rainfall Problem to solve as their emotional data is collected simultaneously. Emotional data is collected using EMOTIV’s neuroheadset. There are 6 emotions tracked in this study: engagement, excitement, focus, interest, relaxation, and stress. One control group is relaxed prior to beginning the programming problem. An EEG-powered relaxation device called Muse is used to accomplish this task. Coding quality is measured based on 6 parameters: average, sum, count, sentinel, …

Smart Voice Assistant For Diabetes Management With Non-Invasive Iot Software, Anh Duong
Symposium of Student Scholars
Over the last few decades, the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been exponentially expanding and positively impacting different aspects of life. Alongside the innovations and developments of artificial intelligence, smart voice assistant (SVA) was invented and is widely used on a daily basis—controlling home automation, performing tasks such as playing music, accessing and checking information—to make people’s lives easier. Furthermore, SVA has also been integrated into and is used in healthcare, especially personal assistance for elderly patients. In this study, we first explored and surveyed the usages and impacts of SVA in healthcare and particularly …
